Chapter 224 Oops, I forgot about the fat man!

I don’t know if Ding Sitian understood Chen Ziyan’s subtext, but she did not continue the topic. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Should we go to other places next?"

The so-called other places naturally refer to other areas of the Ghost Tomb.

Although it is not clear how this ghost tomb operates, we can know from the appearance of Wushuanggui and others out of thin air just now that it is possible to reach other areas through the robbery hole.

No new information could be found in this stone coffin, so she wanted to take a look elsewhere. If she could find something, it would help solve the mystery faster.

After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi shook his head and rejected the suggestion: "No matter whether this ghost tomb is transformed into a mausoleum, it is a product that is divorced from reality after all. We are now staying in the underworld of the Tang Tomb, and we don't need to worry about other things." Question, but if the ghost tomb suddenly disappears in other places, it will really make the sky and the earth unavailable."

He was worried that the ghost tomb would send them to the ground. In the soil, even if it is not crushed to death immediately, it will die of suffocation. It is better to stay here first.

Although Chen Ziyan felt that the possibility of this was low, he was afraid of anything less than ten thousand, so he felt that he had to take precautions and said: "Let's take a look again. This stone coffin should not be what it seems on the surface." So simple.”

“Okay.”

Hearing both of them say that, Ding Sitian didn’t insist.

She knew very well that she was far inferior to these professionals in terms of tomb exploration, and it was just a suggestion.

At this moment, they suddenly heard Shirley Yang say: "Look at the walls around you."

Hearing her reminder, Chen Ziyan and others subconsciously looked up. I found that the surrounding tomb walls had changed at some point.

The original murals are gone, replaced by patterns of faces with different expressions.

These human face patterns are scattered and have different expressions, some are happy, some sad, some sad, some angry, some surprised, or hurt, but no matter which expression it is, the basic techniques are the same as those on the stone coffin. Those face patterns all look like they came out of the same mold.

After Chen Ziyan carefully looked at the tomb wall, he reminded in a serious voice: "Everyone, be careful, we should no longer be in the original Hades Palace."

He discovered that more than just the murals had been replaced with human faces. , even the tomb wall has changed from the delicate tomb bricks to thick and simple rocks. The material is exactly the same as the stone wall that blocked the road before.

Hu Bayi thought of a possibility and subconsciously looked back at the stone coffin and said: "Maybe when the stone coffin appeared, this transformation had already begun, but our attention was distracted by other people. The thing is fascinating, but we haven't been able to find it. If it goes as expected, we should have completely entered the Ghost Tomb."

This can also explain why Wushuang Ghost and others came in through them. The robbery hole came out.

"We will explore this matter later. Now let's study the face pattern on the wall first." Chen Ziyan said.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to think about it so much now. It is better to investigate the situation first.

As for whether this guess is correct, we will naturally get the answer after checking it out.

"Yes." Hu Bayi nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Ziyan's words. Things are already like this, so it's useless to think about it any more.

After observing the face patterns on the wall for a while, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, why do I think these faces look so awkward, but Still can’t tell what’s wrong?”

Chen Ziyan also felt the same way. After looking at it for a while, he asked: "Do you feel that it is not sincere enough? No matter what expression you have, it seems to be fake?"

Hearing what he said, Hu Bayi He immediately agreed: "Yes, it just feels fake. The expressions on these faces are so... so indescribable hypocrisy. Speaking of which, these faces look complicated, but in terms of senses, they are not as good as those on the stone coffins." What about those?"

Chen Ziyan nodded: "That's true. Compared with the human face patterns on the stone coffin, these human face patterns look more weird, with evil in their smiles and mockery in their anger. Beyond the scope of human expression..."

At this point, Chen Ziyan paused slightly, his eyes swept across the base of the stone coffin and the lower edge of the tomb wall, and then said: "But now it is basically certain that this with The tomb wall with human face patterns is also a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Hu Bayi didn't know much about this period, so he asked: "Master Chen, what do you mean by this?"


Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian, who had remained silent, also turned their attention to Chen Ziyan.

Looking at the three people with expectant faces, Chen Ziyan organized his words a little and said: "I base my judgment on two points. One is the style of these face patterns. Although in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, There were already such facial carvings or patterns during the period, but the human facial decorations during the Yin and Shang Dynasties were more vigorous and simple, but the lines were not smooth enough. Moreover, the gender characteristics of that period were obvious. Those with silken eyebrows, round eyes, wide mouths and wide noses were men. This was not the case in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The biggest feature was that the facial lines were smooth and there were no gender characteristics. Only the ears were larger than ordinary people."

Then he pointed to the base of the stone coffin and the bottom of the tomb wall: "The second point is. This cloud and thunder pattern is the only one in the Western Zhou Dynasty that admired the thunder pattern. It can be said that this is a more distinctive feature."

Hu Bayi did not speak, but Shirley Yang raised a question.

Just listen to her ask: "I remember that similar human face decorations appeared in the Han Dynasty. Although they are rare in subsequent dynasties, cultural relics with such decorations have been unearthed one after another."< br>


Chen Ziyan nodded when he heard this: "That's true, but if you pay attention to the development of this type of facial decoration, you will find that this type of facial pattern has more obvious facial features in the Han Dynasty and later, and men will have obvious beards on their faces. , and this type of indistinguishable male and female has only appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Hu Bayi said somewhat strangely: "This is obviously inconsistent with the development of things, just like this kind of carving. Craftsmanship suddenly turned a corner during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and this genderless shape appeared directly. Later, both aesthetics and craftsmanship gradually returned to the original style."

Chen Ziyan spread his hands helplessly: "Why. I don’t know just how much of this change occurred during the Western Zhou Dynasty. If I want to find out, I have to ask experts in the field for help.”

Even Chen Ziyan feels that it would be difficult even for scholars who specialize in this field. Explain the reasons and background for this strange change.

"By the way, we have now left the original Hades Palace, what about Kaixuan?" Ding Sitian suddenly thought of Wang Kaixuan who went to interrogate the captives alone.

Although the side hall is right next to it, that was before, and no one knows where that door will lead now.

Hu Bayi also slapped his head fiercely: "Oh no, I forgot about Fatty!"
